The warmists’ shahada

What do you suppose this would look like on a black flag?

There Is No God But Gaia And Climate Scientists Are Her Prophet

The mask drops and Climate Scientists™ are now admitting that to save Gaia, they must rely on the power of religion to smite the climate unbelievers:

“[A]s climate negotiators struggle in Paris, some scientists who appealed to the rational brain are enlisting what many would consider a higher power: the majesty of faith.”

“…

“In the first five days of climate negotiations, interfaith activists came, fasted, talked to media, buttonholed leaders and prayed. On Saturday night in a downtown Paris chapel, hundreds of people, many of them prostrated on the ground, sang and prayed for the climate negotiators and mostly for the world.”

Sign of the times

Even if The Man Show hadn’t gotten a bunch of college-age women to sign on to their joke petition to repeal the 19th Amendment (because “suffrage” sounds so much like “suffering,” dontchaknow), more recent events make this all too believable:

Yale fail: Ivy leaguers sign ‘petition’ to repeal First Amendment

Looking to understand just how controversial the debate over free speech on our college campuses really is, filmmaker and satirist Ami Horowitz recently traveled to Yale University, one of our nation’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning, to speak directly to students.

“I decided to take this campus free speech debate to its logical conclusion,” said Horowitz, who asked students if they’d sign a petition calling for an outright repeal of the First Amendment. “The result was this unbelievable display of total stupidity.”

In fact, Horowitz discovered a solid majority of the students asked willingly signed the petition, with several expressing their enthusiastic approval for his anti-First Amendment efforts.

More ACLU fecklessness

We kinda expect them at this point to be missing-in-action with regard to gun rights, but they’ve not been much better at free speech lately.  When it’s their fellow travelers who are misbehaving, they fall strangely silent:

ACLU Silence Enables Campus Anti-Free Speech Movement

The Radio Television Digital News Association recently presented its new First Amendment Defenders Award to Tim Tai, a student journalist who was hired by ESPN to cover the anti-racism protests at the University of Missouri.

“Tai was confronted by University students, faculty and staff, threatening him with violence if he did not abandon his efforts,” the award citation reads. “Instead, he stood his ground and patiently asserted his First Amendment Rights to stand in a public place and report on the events around him.”

One would hope that the ACLU of Missouri issued a statement of support for Tim Tai at the time the video of this highly publicized event went viral on the Internet. But the ACLU of Missouri didn’t even acknowledge that the incident occurred. Instead, they issued a statement that “the ACLU of Missouri honors the University of Missouri students and faculty who displayed courageous and creative leadership …”

The next day, when MU’s student body vice president suggested on national television that the exercise of First Amendment rights creates a hostile and unsafe learning environment, the ACLU of Missouri remained silent. Two days later, when a Christian street preacher was physically assaulted by anti-racism protesters while speaking inside MU’s designated “Free Speech Circle,” the ACLU of Missouri remained silent.

ACLU: totally copacetic with taking guns from people on no-fly list

Worthless bunch of communist bastards.  Their advocacy for “civil liberties” is in the same vein as Spinal Tap’s appeal to its fans…becoming more selective:

Never trust the ACLU. NEVER trust the ACLU. NEVER TRUST THE ACLU.

I mean, geez, this is too raw even for Buzzfeed: “The American Civil Liberties Union is taking no position on legislation that would bar people from buying guns if they are on the federal government’s no-fly list — a list that the ACLU has spent the past five years arguing is unconstitutional.”
